Gold Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Effect on Viability of Human Non-Small Lung Cancer Cells

Gold nanoparticles recently showed great interest for many uses including food, drug and medical applications. The algae Undaria sp. well known as wakame in South Asia are considered to be large edible brown algae. It provides nutritious source of dietary fiber, vitamin Bs mineral. present study aimed investigate the use green synthesis metallic gold nanoparticles. synthesized were characterized physicochemical properties size measurement tested vitro their effect on viability human non-small lung cancer H-460 cell line using MTT assay. From results, able chemically form with chloroauric acid solution possibly due sulphated polysaccharides found particle sizes approximately 10 nm. stabilized by could decrease viability. However, biological activity seemed depend upon reaction time temperature. Conclusively, viability, thus indicating potential such further anticancer activity.
